Here are mine, where is yours?
Maybe the stupidest post in this Forum, but a persons Bookshelf tells us a lot about that person.

Petzold's Programming Windows seems to be missing!
My bookshelf is but a pale imitation of yours!

Well, I have my gems... How many people have "Programming SQL server 7.0" in their private Bookshelf? I must be insane...
Hmmm... Petzold... best to use Google!

Wow.
My bookcases themselves look a lot like yours does - but my collection of technical books is tiny and shamed by yours. The collection has some really out of date stuff like ms Qbasic manuals
and some rubbish I thought was going to be important/useful before I learned better.
However I have heaps of business, management, personal development and people-skill books.
And - tah dah - I do have the intel set (free books) which I didn't spot in your pictures. So I consider it game, set and match to you, but I did manage to get one point.

Looks like techjunkie is trying to know everything!
I'm just using PureBasic right now, and have no books!
But I once read a little in a C++ for Dummies book.

Well, I know a little about many things, and that's been good to me. If you only know one area, you don't know what is possible in other areas. If you know a little about different OS:s, assembler, computer languages and how electronic works - you have the whole picture and can determine what is possible or not.

techjunkie, Amazon.com loves you!
Seriously, I through out probable a couple dozen books before I moved to Florida. Most books were outdated. And, books on VB I knew I no longer needed, as I have no desire, or forsee a desire to get back in VB. If I did/do, surely I would have to ... well buy more books anyway.
lol
ps. Learning means by the book and not buy the book.
(did I just come up with a slogan for every PDF training manual out there?)
;-D

Well, most of my books are C and C++ books I think (only ONE PB book, but two BlitzBasic books... hmmm) , but I'll use VBS almost every day at my work.

techjunkie, man you are such a geek
Well, I can't see Teach Yourself C++ there. That's my only programming book, so far.
